First Trimester

Krishna Istha’s First Trimester, a one-to-one interactive performance interview, set in a fertility clinic in a quest to find the perfect sperm donor, will take over the Studio Theatre for a week.
First Trimester is one part of Krishna’s M:otherhood Project - a trilogy of performance pieces, spanning an unknown number of years to come, mirroring their journey into motherhood from a trans perspective.

Krishna’s week at Roundhouse will be an open-door studio to involve people in the developmental process. People from the industry – producers, artists, performers, academics etc – are welcome into the rehearsal space every day to unpack aspects of the development process and to experience elements of the show that might require working collaboratively with bodies.
On Friday 28th October the space will be opened up to a wider audience for a round-table sharing to get feedback and thoughts on the shape the show is taking.

This show is part of PROCESS – a series interrogating artistic processes and artist care – part of the Roundhouse's year-long theme of Liberation.
